An interactive music resource on the web.

We invite contributions from academics and students, performers and audiences alike and ask only that you become a member of the site and that what you submit is both interesting and informative. Start a debate in one of our forums or get your work published electronically.

Browse resources like composer biographies, stylistic descriptions, reviews and comment, in addition to links to other music sites and services. Please join our 18th Century 'Family' and take part in promoting and discussing this amazing part of musical history.

18th Century Music is also linked to Cantata Editions which prepares and publishes the work of editors around the globe, presenting 17th and 18th century musical works in accurate performing editions.

We have access to some of the greatest collections of manuscripts in
the world, both autograph copies of whole operas and excellent
